I do not use a graphcard. For the card that I use, I withdraw cash from the ATM.

Bros, Tell us the card you use biko. Are you in 9ja? Don't dull abeg.

I just uploaded my first book. It was well formatted. I took a chance on my table of contents and succeeded in making it clickable. I just discovered that your book cover has to be 1000pixels on the longest side and 650 on the shortest side for maximum result.
@mk. Is there any side effect promoting your book for just 24 hrs? Just thinking of how people respond to scarcity.

For your num 3)

Select the TOC(table of contents) , click insert, enter bookmarks , add bookmark as "ref_TOC".
Then go to chapter 1, but this time around not on the TOC rather go to the main chapter 1 where you will start writing your contents(words), also select this chapter 1, insert bookmark and add as "chap1" mind you no space and no quotation mark I only used it to emphasize. NB that we are not on the chapter1 in the TOC yet.

Ok, now go to the chapter 1 on the TOC, click insert , add hyperlink , you'll see a "link to:" tag at the top of your page then look inside the "select a place in this document" you'll see our "chap1" that we added as a bookmark earlier click it and press ok. You're done.

2) check the previous page I posted and order of arrangement which I think you'll find useful.

1) Yes nah' start a new chapter on a fresh page. Shew!

lf there is any that need sell ebook on kindle on this thread, l think the owner of this thread should.

You can open your thread and stop derailing and advertising here, unless you have paid the owner of this thread.

Oga seun please put a remove button for people that open threads so they can manage their thread well, enough of post derailing.

You guys are wonderful! Thanks to you all!

Colynx:

(1) its easy to talk, to prove my sincerity, am attaching a pdf file of my remittance advice for the uk platform.

(2) Here is a link to one of my tools ( This one is what i used in writing my books) http://www.kdpublishingpro.com/members-658125475/software.php I have tools for researching the bestsellers, for marketing, for searching for good niche to write. Please note these tools are paid software and I cannot give them to you for free

Any other help, get across to me, am willing to help you for free.

@Colynx, I am putting up this post with reference to your insinuation (bolded above) and as a compound reply to all other antagonists and "info marketers" who have attempted to take over this thread in order to sell Kindle Publishing Information to unwary novices. This reminds me of the of the days of Success Digest Extra when all we had were info marketers that were buying cars from selling eBooks and seminars to ignorant people.

I have challenged a few people to show proof of their kindle achievement before claiming the status of "online publishing veterans" and none of them has been able to show anything.

@Colynx, I was not surprised when I saw your advert in the preceding post. Thank you for your Remittance Advice Screen Shot. However, it showed you made $17.02 dollars in the UK marketplace in the two months of August and September 2013. That is $8.5 each month. That is less than what I make in one week in the UK. I don't know your US marketplace income for those months and I'm not assuming anything.

I have uploaded below, the screen shot of my November 2013 income for the US market place up till today(Nov 29). It shows total sales and borrows of 407. None of those books are below $2.99. So using a royalty of 70% that is 407 x 2= $814. If you remove tax and Payoneer charges that is about N85,470 for the US market place sales/borrows alone. I have already crossed N100,000 so far this month when the UK,CA and DE marketplace sales are added.

My overall kindle income crossed 1 million naira a few months ago and it is moving rapidly towards the second million.

I have been unfairly accused of all sort of things on this thread and the same people turned around "looking for novices to devour".

I did not create this thread to market kindle publishing to anybody. I do one-on-one training for N20,000 and I pour my heart out to all trainees so they will not have problems. I also offer as much support as I can until they stabilize. Most people get this money (N20,000) back within 2 months from the sales of their books.

I am doing this just to help and encourage more people to come in. (I spend over 1 hour daily replying emails and answering questions because of this thread). When I started in June 2012, there were about 1.69 million books on KDP. Now there are over 2.25 million. That is about 500,000 books. I have just over 30 of those books and I wondered how nice it would be if about 100,000 of those books were published by fellow Nigerians.

At a point, this thread became too argumentative and many posters were blowing hot air about "making it" with fiction blah, blah, blah. That is why I stayed off most of this week.

I have trained a few people one-on-one and I have access to about 5 accounts of people I trained and the least of them is making over N20,000 every month with 5 to 8 books. They all started less than 8 months ago. One of them a lady, collected over N60,000 yesterday (September sales).

I will prefer those that are here to market their information to open their own Amazon Kindle Threads on nairaland so we will not be confused.(Personally, I believe if you are making so much money from the knowledge, you will not have to market it)

As the saying goes "it's a free world". If you are reading this and you do not want to follow me, good luck. I do not have the "sweet mouth" to convince anybody because I am not naturally a marketer. What I know is that Kindle publishing works for me and my protégés have been able to repeat similar success. We are no longer doing trial and error. If this thread will produce 10 to 20 individuals who are making at least N50,000 monthly from Kindle Direct publishing, then MY WORK IS DONE.

Good day all!

Colynx: @mk82, My post you referenced was not to slight you. And if you feel slighted in anyway I am sorry about that. It wasn't my intention to make you feel that. My respect to you for opening this thread and kudos to me for making you to post a screenshot of your account, which you did. lol.

Calling people out to post their account is optional, we all know that nl is a platform for all of us and its a good thing to abide by the rules. Remember you asked someone to post his/her screenshot and the person did not. Thank God for what you wrote about the screenshot I posted. That is just for one of my accounts. I will not post my real and long time account here.

I am not asking anybody to get anything from me and you will recall the two tools I posted #330 for all to use. Like you people need to pay for somethings for them to value it. I check through all the post, I didn't in anyway frown at your post #1, for some your offer is the best and for some my offer is what they will prefer.

Someone asked earlier about the card, payoneer is what I use and mk82.

finally @mk82. Sincerely with the tools in my post #330 have I contributed positively to what you intend to achieve? Do well to answer.

Note we are all here to help each other rise! At least that what I am here to do.

Thanks for ur contributions but the bolded looks suspicious. I think everyone that wants to teach here or advertise should upload current screenshots of what they have achieved with their knowledge. For instance, if the master makes $10/month, how much will d students make?

@OP you don't need to show us any proof, you have done a lot. And please those your figures are intimidating me

Erm', I wrote my book with MS word, saved it as .doc(97'-2003) format with clickable TOC. Can I upload my book like that? Or is there anything I need to add? Thanks!

And you also made mention of uploading the book cover separately from the remaining contents.

Abeg, answer my beginners question.

Abeg, answer my beginners question.

You can upload or book as Ms Word 97-2003. You need a separate cover in jpeg format. I use 980 X 1260 pixels.

Ozat: Am really interested. Please explain to ♍ how to get started.

Simply write your book on Microsoft Word. When you're done, visit amazon.com, scroll down, and you will see the publish your book option. Take it up fromthere. It's really simple.

A question. I hope there won't be any problem if I disable the KDP select automatic renewal button for 90days?

Bestlyf: A question. I hope there won't be any problem if I disable the KDP select automatic renewal button for 90days?

You can disable automatic renewal but the 3 months you are currently on must be fulfilled.

Good job. Try n do detailed research for ur next book. Research is key. 139 downloads is small even for 1day.

MK, what about the MMO niche? Any good?

Do u mean make money online?A few books are doing well there but I don't think there enough purchasing power for the money to go round. Look for niches where many books are having averagely OK sales. Except u just want to 'try'.

Bestlyf: @MK82, how do I determined a narrowed down micro niche that gets searched a lot but have less competition?

RESEARCH: METHOD TO NARROW DOWN A NICHE
-Go to Google, type Amazon bestsellers. Click on the amazon bestseller's link
-At amazon bestsellers, click on kindle store on the left side (do not use d search box at d top)
-at kindle store, click on kindle ebooks below it
-under kindle ebooks, u will see many categories. click on anyone dat u want and it will open subcategories. choose any subcategory and click until their is no more subs.
- At this point, start checking the 100 books that are listed for dat sub-subcategory.
-right click any of the listed books and check d product details. It should have amazon sales rank below 20,000.
-determine d keyword of dat book. For instance, it could be a book on anger management.
-now open amazon on anoda tab and go to kindle ebooks.use d search box to search for the keyword 'anger management'. when d results open,select 'new and popular' on d right side.
-Open about 10 of d books to check their product details. their should be at least 5 to 7 books with amazon sales rank around 10k,20k,30k,40k. there should be many odas below 100k.
-this shows money is circulating in dat niche.
if these criteria are not satisfied, go to the bestseller's page and start over. Avoid niches with many celebrity authors or those dat require professional qualifications.

The above lecture is indeed elaborate and well understood. Don't worry, you will soon have one of the student that makes more than 50k per month from this thread.

P.S my book promotion schedule for 2 days ended today with just 271 downloads. Well, my first book. Hope to do better next time.
